The digital computer system herein described is a customized group of programmable multiprocessors, multiplex channels, control modules, and peripheral devices. Controlling the operation of a wide variety of data terminals, this system can be an independent digital computer system or a versatile extension of a larger computer system. Selected software, which forms a part of this system, determines the characteristics of the system for any given application. When attached to a host computer, this system can be a local and remote terminal controller, a local and remote external device controller, a front-end communications processor, or any combination of these things. Essentially, this system incorporates standard minicomputer hardware in a novel configuration that enables it to rival or enhance the performance of much larger computer systems.
